Verstappen distracted by Leclerc's visor strip while chasing him down

The Jeddah circuit is the fastest street circuit in Formula 1 and this demands a lot from the drivers. With the high speeds and tight corners, the drivers have to stay focused, but Max Verstappen was distracted during the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix while chasing down Charles Leclerc.

In the closing stages of the race we saw a blistering battle between Leclerc and Verstappen for the win. The Dutchman initially managed to overtake the Ferrari, but Leclerc came back on the straight. However, Verstappen kept driving close to the Monegasque and managed to overtake him for the win just before the end.

However, it appears that Verstappen was not only busy narrowing the gap towards Leclerc. During the race, the Red Bull actually picks up Leclerc's visor strip while chasing him down the straight. Drivers can pull this strip off their helmet when their visor becomes blurry.

In the video, Verstappen can be seen trying to remove the strip from his car for the entire lap, while he is right behind Leclerc and still trying to get closer to the Ferrari.
